Current Conditions: Wow, we received another good shot of snow last night. The Fairview zone picked up 6 to 8 inches of new snow. The central and southern Skyline did better with 10 to 15 inches overnight. The wind was gusty on Wednesday and was blowing and drifting snow. It has dramatically slowed now. The direction has been mostly from the west. Temperatures were in the mid teens on Wednesday and dropped back into the single digits overnight. Riding conditions were ok on Wednesday. The newest snow was thicker and more dense than what we've seen. It was somewhat "upside down" but still provided some fun turning conditions. Today's snow should be quite good quality.
Mountain Weather: We'll see some lingering light snowfall today with mostly cloudy skies. Temperatures won't get much warmer than about 10˚F. Wind will be light to moderate in speed from the west northwest, gradually increasing later today. The next storm system starts to move in Friday and will last through the weekend potentially bringing a significant amount of snow.
I did not find any new avalanches on Wednesday but visibility was poor and travel was difficult. We are close to a significant natural avalanche cycle if it didn't occur overnight last night.
